Please bear in mind that 4chan rumours are basically the equivalent of overhearing people talking in a public restroom from inside a locked toilet stall. Especially when nobody is using a tripcode. So don't take any of this as solid information. But it's certainly worth mulling over because Ubisoft employees post on 4chan all the time. Kind of a consequence of having 12,000 employees some of whom are disgruntled or bored.
The tl;dr version:
- Multiple Splinter Cell games died in pre-production. A Red Storm VR game, a Blood Dragon team first person title, (Note that Splinter Cell was always heavily influenced by Thief, so a first person Splinter Cell does make some sense), Toronto's follow up to Blacklist, and Ubi Paris/Shanghai's planned salvage of the Toronto project. All got canned, apparently. They're a bit vague about how/when the Ubisoft Shanghai open world Splinter Cell was cancelled.
- Ivory Tower is in trouble after The Crew 2.
- Ubi Toronto are making Far Cry 6. (As an aside, Clint Hocking rejoined Ubisoft in 2015 and is working at Ubi Toronto.)
- Ubi Berlin are making "Far Cry 5.5.5.5.5.5" (We do know that Ubi Berlin was basically founded to work on Far Cry stuff. So it's possible they're making some kind of multiplayer game built on FC5's foundation.)
- Ubisoft Milan are making Rabbids Kingdom 2.
There's been 4 Splinter Cell games over the last 5 years, but none of them have made it past pre-production and there isn't one currently in production. Every single Ubisoft team is tied up on other projects at the moment, you won't see another Splinter Cell game for another decade, if ever.

>What happened to the most recent one? Aka, the one mentioned in the Walmart leak?
It wasn't a full Splinter Cell game, it was going to be a teaser for a downloadable VR Spies vs Mercenaries spin off, PS4 exclusive, being developed by Ubisoft Montreal and Red Storm Entertainment who are currently making a number of VR titles for Ubisoft. It was shit canned.
In 2012 Ubisoft Toronto started pre-production on a new Splinter Cell game whilst Blacklist was being wrapped up using AnvilNext.
In 2014 the Blood Dragon team of Ubisoft Montreal was working on first person Splinter Cell.
End of 2016/early 2017 Ubisoft Paris got handed the remains of the 2012 Toronot project and started prototyping an open world Splinter Cell that would then be handed off to Ubisoft Shanghai and developed in tandem with Breakpoint.
